      Hi

      Doing my 3rd marathon in about 3 weeks - 2nd this year.  After completing Rotorua (NZ) in 2009 and 2010, decided a flat course may be in order, so doing Melbourne (AUS) and having a family holiday at the same time.  On the one hand it would be nice if it was the perfect temperature for running a marathon, on the other would be good if it was hot and sunny for the holiday......Confused

      After training through winter, looking froward to race day and the post-marathon high.  Not looking forward to the final 8km, and that what-if feeling in the weeks after.

        Hello everyone  Smile   New to this group, but not RA.  I am training for my first Marathon....It will be March 6.   I am using the training schedule they posted on the Little Rock Marathon website.  We are into week 2, I will be both running/walking, we are thinking about doing a 3 mile run/1 mile walk the whole way.   What does everyone think about that??????  I will have to incorporate some walking, although someday I'd like to think I was able to run the whole way  Smile
